Alcohol Exposed

Alcohol is the most widely available and most abused drug in the world today. This point is driven home in this video and print package in a way that middle schoolers and junior high students will understand and remember. Students see the short-term and long-term harmful effects alcohol causes on the body as well as the intoxicating effects on the mind. Using interviews and narration by peers, the video exposes ways that alcohol use interferes with health, education and personal lives. The ravages of alcoholism and the struggles of families living with alcoholics are presented. Binge drinking is singled out as a very dangerous and potentially lethal activity that young people must avoid at all costs. ©2000 CC
